Concepts of Intergration and Assimilation
Multiculturalism - positive ethnic diversity
- descriptive approach: assessment of fact of cultural diversity
- normative approach: ideologies or policies that embrace and promote this diversity - multiculturalism as a society “at ease with the rich tapestry of human life and the desire amongst people to express their own identity in the manner they see fit.”
- focus on interaction and communication between different cultures
- focus on diversity and cultural uniqueness
- common aspect : no specific ethnic, religious, or cultural community values presented as central.
Cultural assimilation
Process by which a person or a group's language or culture come to resemble those of another group.
- Full assimilation: new members of a society become indistinguishable from members of the other group.
- quick or gradual change?
- desirable for an immigrant group?
- Immigrant assimilation:
- complex process in which immigrants fully integrate themselves into a new country.
- four primary benchmarks for immigrant assimilation:
- socioeconomic status (education, occupation, income)
- geographic distribution
- second language attainment
- intermarriage
Why do young muslims turn extremists?
- Read from beginning to "And it's a very powerful grip on one's mind. And in my case it took years to shed that influence." (third box)
Reasons for Extremism:
- crucial event: death of thousands of European muslims in war in Bosnia in 90s! West just watches and doesn't help the muslims there. (Parallels to wars in Iraq .... muslims are being killed and no-one cares)
- Islam is cleverly presented as way of looking at history: like in Marxism it is always a struggle, them against us, bad against good, everybody against the muslims (idea of Western/Jewish conspiracy against Islam/muslims)
- at school/in university young muslims become part of an active, organized, outspoken movement ⇒ proud to be an active muslim, feeling of power, feeling of belonging to group and of changing the world.

Cartoons
Notes on this cartoon
- 4 frames, three show acts of violence/hatred committed in the name of Christianity/Western Civilization
- evangelical pastor [=church] burning Korans, evangelical/conservative politician [politics] against building mosque in USA, secret service agent [=government] torturing terrorist suspect)
- irony: they all want revenge/act as unchristian/intolerantly as those they accuse of doing this to them
- irony: preacher is completely stupid: of course "them folks don't act like Christians" - they simply aren't christians!
- preacher also doesn't seem to know his Bilble: "Jesus hates Mohammed" is absolutely like anthing Jesus preaches in the Bible: Jesus preaches love, peace and forgiveness - not hatred!
- picture four shows the result: children in USA have learned, that you needn't act as you wish others to act towards you (in civilized way, mercyfully, helpfully, tolerantly ...) but can do anything you want as long as nobody stops you.
- General criticism: christian/western preachers and politicians and governments do the same things they accuse terrorists and radical islamist of ⇒ they are no better than them
Possible solution (full text):
The cartoon shows the effects of double standards that religious leaders, politicians and the state have when the deal with muslims or islamic states. It is split up in four frames.
In the first frame you can see a crazy older man, wearing a suit and tie, who publicly says „I’m burnin Korans ‚cause them folks don’t act like Christians.“and a sign in the background says „ Jesus hates Mohammed“. He represents the right winged Christians in the USA who strongly oppose Islam.
The second frame shows a TV where you can see a fat old angry man who thinks „We shouldn’t allow the Mosque in New York because they won’t allow Churches in Saudi Arabia.“ He refers to the mosque near Ground Zero in New York, which many Americans saw as an insult.
The third frame shows a man wearing dark suit and sunglasses and he`s holding something censored in his hand. He is interogating a suspect and is saying: "Its`s okay to torture terror suspects.`Cause they are utterly devoid of human decency."
In the last frame we can see a woman with three children sitting on the floor in front of her in a room with a big cross. She is trying to teach them the christian values, and begins a sentence: " And so, children we do unto others..."which a boy finishes with the words: " Any way we can get away with."
The cartoon criticizes the self-righteousness and hypocrisy of fundamentalist evangelicals, conservative politicians and the government that shows in their attitude to Islam and Muslims.
The pastor reveals not only his own limitations by accusing Muslims of not acting like Christians (which isn't really surprising for a Muslim) but shows his own hypocrisy or rather gross misunderstanding of what Jesus - who he claims hates Mohammed - teaches in the bible: tolerance, forgiveness, love and respect for orthers - not hatred and war against them. This is truly ironic for a Christian pastor.
The politician seems to have one motive - revenge for the way Saudi Arabia treats Cristianity, and he, too, ironically reveals that he lacks the tolerance he demands, as well as a truly Christian, loving and forgiving attititude, or a sound political strategy. Such a strategy that really helps Christians in the Arab world: They would rather profit from serious talks with Saudi Arabia (which is an ally of the US) and from a political deal, that balances the mosque in New York with some churches in Saudi Arabia.
The next bitter irony is that a government-agent accuses terrorist suspects of a lack of human decency while torturing a suspect (who should be seen as not guiltey until proven to be guilty). He clearly represents our or rather our governments' double standards while dealing with people we believe to be terrorists: We suddenly forget everything about human rights, the rights of suspects or basic human decency.
The result of this behaviour is obvious in the last frame: Our children grow up in a climate that teaches a dangerous lesson: that you needn't live the Christian values you preach - at least not while dealing with muslims.

Criticism:
- Working hard and wealth is over-emphasized. No time to enjoy what you have.
- Over-emphasizing material aspect oft he dream – spiritual and idealistic aspect is lost.
- The dream is a farce, a slogan used by politicians
- It’s called the American Dream because you have to be asleep to believe it
- Many have no time for the American Dream, but are busy enough hanging on to what they have
- They work so much, they don’t have time to enjoy the things they have earned
- Dream gives a tough answer to those who don’t make it: „You didn’t try/work hard enough ==> it is their own fault, not our society's!==> you can’t expect any help
- Dream is unachievable for many people (poverty, inequality still exists) ==> doesn’t work for the working poor/discriminated groups/people with chronical diseases/ill people without insurrance
- The gap between the rich and the poor people gets bigger
- Immigrants are widely held responsible for the failure of the American Dream
BUT: Immigrants themselves are those who most ardently believe in the dream and see it fulfilled, as life is better than where they came from and will even be better for their children

Obesity
Reasons for obesity:
- medical/biological disposition or use of medication (rare)
- unhealthy food cheaper than healthy food
- too much salt, sugar and fat
- people eat a lot of sugar without knowing
- sugar increases your appetite
- cornfructose is a very cheap + good tasting ingredient
- labels like smart choice make things worse, as they make people eat more and as they advertise fat free food, but fat is replaced by sugar
- we do not only eat when we are hungry
- we do not think about how much and what we eat
- marketing of cheap / high-calorie/sugary food and extremely large portions
- insufficient physical exercise compared to amount of food we eat
Effects of obesity:
- high cholesterol + and blood-sugar ==> heart diseases, diabetes, stroke,
- various cancers, massive diabetes
- problems with joints (knees, ankles, hips) due to massive overweight
- reduced life-expectancy
- health care costs and costs of unemployment, long-term-illnes and care for extremely obese people increase dramatically

- severe limitations / loss of quality of life => depression, isolation
Possible solutions:
- more exercise/sports
- eat more low calorie food
- legal steps against hidden sugar, oversize portions, … for better information on labels of food we buy
- instruct kids in school + change school lunch
- teach people about consequences and responsible eating (portion sizes, sugar intake, ...)

- local restaurants can change their menus + portion sizes
- drink less beer and high-sugar softdrinks

Stereotypes based on ethnicity
- Basic information: Wikipedia on stereotypes
Videos
Stereotypes of Asians
Stereotypes of Hispanics
Stereotypes of African Americans
Definition: Stereotypes
- ... are fixed, simple ideas or images that many people have of a particular type of person or thing
- ... often use simple criteria and give a simplified version of reality (they can be true, though)
- ... help us to categorize/distinguish between dangerous and harmless, attractive and unattractive, reliable - treacherous ...
- ... help us to understand and explain the world in a quick and simple way
- ... can be positive (men are strong) and negative (men don't have true feelings)
- ... are often very hard to change, even if experience suggests that the stereotype may be wrong/too simple to explain complex realities or individual behaviour
Stereotype threat:
- awareness of belongig to group that is stereotyped creates lower performance/different behaviour due to fear of fulfilling the stereotype.
- Example: black students did worse at test if told it was to determine their intellectual abilities
Self-fulfilling Prophecy
- inaccurate expectations about someone's behavior ==> I treat stereotyped people in certain way (e.g. as if they were less intelligent …) ==> person acts in stereotype-consistent ways ==> confirms my erroneous expectations ==> validating the stereotype.
- Example: men talking to women on the phone. If they believed women to be attractive, they talked to them in a more positive way, which in return produced more positive and likeable answers, which finally confirmed their assumed attractiness, as they appeared more likeabele etc. to the men.
Discrimination

- Example: discrimination in labor markets and other domains (obese people …, women ….)
